Hello Sluggers

An old head scratcher has popped up again.

Occassionally I have DAT tapes that 'the system' says are write
protected, but they are not. No matter which DAT drive or
system/software I use, it barfs on the tape. Most seem to indicate
that the tape is write protected, but it definitely isn't.

Does anyone have any ideas?

It is not an age/use relationship. Nor is it a cheap tape problem, nor
is it restricted to one particular brand. The only thing I can think
of is that some tapes have randonly died - perhaps stretched, or
something similar.
